Tr/spy.gen

I made the stupid mistake of not realizing a post was hit by a spammer and clicked on the link.rolleyes:-o

Spysweeper picked up CoolWebSearch and blocked it (I thought) and Avira picked up the above virus and I repaired it.

The infection was still around so I did the scans.

Things seem to be fine now, but I want to be sure.

 

MGlogs attached.


Thanks! and sorry to add to the load. I should have known better.

 

Your logs are clean. Looks like you stopped it before any damage was done.


If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
   • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
   • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
   • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)
3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
4. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
5. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
6. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
   • Refer to the cleaning procedures in step 3 the READ ME for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
   • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.

 

Thanks for checking Chas!

 

No problem. Better safe than sorry.
